Most Helpful Guy

I don't want to get married as then there is no need for either party to try and if it ends up not working out you'll probably stay in an unhappy marriage, but if you're not married you don't have to go through the divorce process and you can leave the relationship if unhappy.

It's all a big gamble to me, and I don't want to take those risks when things eventually just don't turn out the way I expect it to and become all upset and disappointed with and about it. So I rather not take any chances at all with it.

I think most people that want to marry want to have kids also, and that's a big dealbreaker for them either way since I do not want any kids, it's just a mess up world, stability is no longer a certainty, anything bad can happen unexpectedly at any time, I figured I rather save someone else the troubles and miseries of ever having to face whatever it is that they may not want to face nor need to know about this world.

Marriage is really just a legal thing. Anyone can be in a lifelong relationship with someone else and not need a piece of paper and a pastor or other clergyman... marriage just seems really unnecessary outside of the law. If you feel like you need all that, then by all means. I have nothing against the concept of marriage, but I don't support it either.

Ideally, I'd prefer to get married but I am also okay with just being in a relationship and not having a wedding, as long as the intimacy and loyalty and family aspects of the relationship are all there. My boyfriend doesn't want to get married ever and I understand his perspective, what he proposed doesn't sound bad at all, even if I'd prefer eventually to have a proper ceremony
